2.1. Nahrung der Raupe

  • [Fabaceae:] Astragalus longipetalus

Nach Gorbunov (2020: 563) lebt die Raupe fast monophag an Oxytropis floribunda und wahrscheinlich noch Astragalus wolgensis: "The larval host is Astragalus longipetalus Chater (Fabaceae) (Fig. 37). However, in the Orenburg Region, males of the type series were collected in a biotope where this species of astragals was absent, but A. wolgensis Bunge was present (Fig. 38). With a high degree of probability, this astragalus is also a host plant of this new species. The larva lives in the root where it bores a tunnel about 7–9 cm long. Its life cycle is annual."
